Profile: It's kind of unbelievable to think that Rich Hill likely changed the complexion of many fantasy leagues. The 35-year-old left-hander opened the season in the Nationals farm system, posting a relatively unspectacular 4.40 FIP over 40 relief appearances. He then took his talents to Pawtucket (Boston's Triple-A farm team), where he was converted to the rotation. In the minors he posted a solid, but unspectacular 3.59 FIP across five starts. With Boston's season circling the drain, he was called up in September. And did the free-agent-to-be ever make himself some coin. Hill was lights out in four starts (29 innings), owning a 34% strikeout rate (11.3% swinging strike rate) and a sparkling 7.2 strikeouts per walk. Small sample size alert, but it was good enough for a 2.29 FIP over a stretch where he faced each American League East team exactly one time. A Fangraphs "what didhe do!?" darling, Hill eventually signed with the Oakland A's, supposedly taking a pay cut to ensure a chance to open 2016 as a starter. Music to drafters' ears. It would be foolish to assume Hill is going to suddenly string together a Cy Young year in his age 36 season, but there's a good chance he comes cheap in fantasy leagues. If you are looking to fill out the back of your rotation, don't be afraid to give Hill a look. Maybe Billy Beane has found his next, older version of Scott Kazmir. (Colin Zarzycki)

The Quick Opinion: Former blue-chipper Rich Hill has been around (and then some). Which made his absurd run (1.55 ERA, 2.27 FIP) last September all the more surprising. Now likely to open the season in Oakland's rotation, don't spend big on extrapolating those numbers to 200 innings, but Hill is the kind of roll of the dice late in drafts that has low risk but could provide big profit.
